Hello @maid08 Hope you OK.  Just reading your post.  I can understand if you are in pain and try to rest much as possible.

Do you have support and essential numbers in case you are ill.  Just a thought.

I have my diary to put them in, close at hand.

Small steps.  I know it is not easy at the minute.

I think of using a diary good idea.  I note down my aims and goals if I can for the week.   Always use it for planning and then I do not forget anything.

Lately forgetting a lot of things.  Constant reminders helps.

Hope you keep safe, nice to talk to you.

Have a great time at your grandchilds party

I think a diary is a great idea, when you have pain or difficulty every day it can be hard to recognise changes and a diary is a good way to keep track.

As @thespiceman says, it is also a good way to plan your week and get any goals down there too!
